Windows XP Desktop Theme Rotator
v1.0
|

The Windows XP Desktop Theme Rotator is a program that can automatically and randomly change your current Windows desktop theme using any of the desktop theme files that you have installed on your computer. The Microsoft "Plus! Pack" for Windows 95 and Windows 98 had this capability, but Microsoft (in their "infinite" wisdom) removed this feature from Windows XP. I had previously searched high and low on the Internet for a similar program, but found nothing... hence, I decided to create my own! The Windows XP Desktop Theme Rotator also features the ability to use a custom edited list of the desktop themes installed on your computer when the randomly chosen desktop theme is applied by the program, so you can use just a selection of your favorite desktop themes when the program is run. This function differs from the "Rotate Theme Monthly" feature of the Microsoft Plus! Pack, as the Plus! Pack's desktop theme control panel applet would use ALL of the available desktop themes that you had installed on your computer (not just a selection of your favorites).
